1t is not uncommon to see ami.
mails turned on pasture early, lose
flesh. The pastures also are in
jured. The ground is wet and soft,
and all the grasses, except possibly
bluegrass, are impaired by the
rambling they suffer. Grazed up
on before they have made a good
root growth and gathered consider
able vigor, grasses are slow to
start up again, and their growth is
feeble. Pasturing early, therefore,
is extravagaut. If the animals are
kept on dry feed two weeks longer,
they will continue to gam flesh
instead of losing 1t.
When chicks are brought up
with a hen, the best and most
natural way is to let the chicks,
after the first week, run out every
pleasant day, keeping the hen con-
fined IN yard four feet square,
with a small dry night house at
tached. This will always secure
the chicks good air, and yet a warm
retreat when they begin to feel
cold. With a little looking alter

Farmers who keep sheep and

in this regard, the masters of the

soil up thoroughly down to the

for each bush.

A GREAT NATIONAL QUESTION.


Published by request Of the w. G.. i. e,
OF Ldinburg.
The liquor problem is not only a
local but a great national question.
The national Congress has legislat-
ed for it from its earliest infancy
and has continued IN a hundred
different ways and by almost in
Vulnerable enactments to icgislatc
in reference to the liquor traffic
The national Congress has cXclu-
sive jurisdiction over the Territories
and the District Of Columbia, the
Docks, Arsenals, and Navy-yards
of the nation. These must all be
made free from the evil blight of
the liquor.tranic by national leg
islation. The national prohibitory
law against the sale Of liquor to the
Indians, who are the nations wards,
which is now largely dcad-letter
must be enforced by national au-
thorlty.
The importation OF liquor and its
transmission through the States is
expressi, ely left with the general
government to regulate, and no
state can eHectually stop the sale
of liquor so long as the national
government sanctions and protects
this important branch Of the liquor
traffic.
The entire influence Of the gen
eral government is at present with
and for the liquor oligafchy. II
fosters it's manufacture, appoints its
collectors, receives ITS revenue, and
for this consideration treats 1t rs n
friend who helps pay It's debts. 1t
takes it into partnership and makes
it a most dangerous monopoly All
this must be changed by national
action. A President can save the
White House from being a national
club room for drinking purposes,
send out pure healthful temper
ance influence, can recommend tenn
perance measures, veto obnoxious
legislation, and change the entire
national atmosphere from the fumes
of wine, beer, and whisky TO total
abstinence aud a sound sentiment
which shall be for the healing OF
the nation.-Nationai Temperance
Almanac.

STOP THE BEGINNINGS.

There is n Latin Maxim which,
rendered into English, means
"Stop the Beginnings 1t CON
tains a volume of good advice. A
few days ago a minister told me
he was preparing notes on the
Proverbs of Solomon and had just
reached the most important verse
in the book, Train mp a child in the
way he should 60"
"Stop the Beginnings would be
a GOOD note for him to make to that
verse.
We have in this State a Reform
School, to which vicious boys and
girls are sent by courts and mag
istrates. Among the inmates are
a good many who have been COM
mitted az "incorrigible" They are
very young, ranging IN age from
seven to twelve years. Their par
ents allege that they are unable to
control them and they are sent to
the Refuge in the hope that they
will be reformed. The beginnings
of evil were not stopped, and now
the restraints of the law have to be
brought in to check them.
In many homes there are mot
toes on the walls, appropriate to
the home life. "Stop the Begin
nings7 would be a good one to put
up in the nursery.
Many good citizen would be
saved to the State if the tendency
to evil habits were checked in early
childhood.
A minister passing through one
of the wards of a hospital came to
a cot on which a young man was
dying.
"Can do anything for your he
asked. With a look of agony in
his face, the young man said, "Oh,
sir. can Won undo z" The begin.
nings of evil had been unchecked,
and a wasted life was the sad re-
suit.
The maxim, at is never too late
to mend is often quoted in regard
10 breaking of evil habits. Would
it not be better for those to whom
it is committed the responsible du.'
ty of training children, to adopt
this maxim: alt is never too early
to Begin? | once read the story
of a good woman whose husband
was an OutspOken infdel. AS her
children grew up, one after another
came into the church. A friend
asked her what means she bad
used in their training to neutralize
the influence of their infdel father.
"WeH,7 she replied, 81 never ar
gued with him, nor belittled him
in the eyes of the children. But |
never allowed them to go to bed
without T aiding a few verses of
something the Saviour had SAID.
I put His words over against the
words of men,
Parents frequently say about
some bad habit of a child, ooh, be
will Outgrow it," Perhaps grace
may come in by-and.by TO change
the heart and mould the life, but
it is dangerous to rely upon child's
outgrowing evil habits. The nat
ural tendency Of such habits is to
grow with the growth. When the
child comes to years Of maturity,
and is ready to assume the respOsi-
bic duties of life, it will he pleasant
for the parent to be able to say, 81
